From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 1-These brief overviews for emergent readers can be paired with previously published stories in Norwood's "Dear Dragon" series. (For instance, Let's Play Football can be read alongside Touchdown, Dear Dragon.) Like the "Dear Dragon" stories, the nonfiction titles employ common sight words. Color photos add details and are well matched to the text. Most of the books depict both male and female players in the photographs. Each offering begins with a note for caregivers, and helpful appendixes include suggested reading activities and a list of the words used. VERDICT This is an acceptable series, designed with the needs of young readers in mind, though the "I Love Sports" (Jump!) series is a better choice for this audience.α(c) Copyright 2011.
